Becky: What are we going to do?



Saeed: I don't know. I need time to think about the ramifications 1 of blowing the whistle.



Becky: There are no two ways about it. If we step up and do the right thing, we are putting our jobs on the line.



Saeed: But we can't keep quiet about this. If it gets out, and we knew about it all along, we’ll get into even more trouble. And plus, think of how many people would be hurt if we kept our mouths shut. Could we live with that?



Becky: Maybe there is a way for us to protect our interests and still do the right thing. Maybe we could be anonymous 2 whistleblowers.



Saeed: Don't count on being able to remain anonymous. When this thing blows up, we’ll be in knee-deep. There's only one thing to do.



Becky: What?



Saeed: I have to put my money where my mouth is and go public with what we know. I’ll just have to let the chips fall where they may.



Becky: Don’t be too hasty 3. Let's sleep on it and talk about it tomorrow.



Saeed: You can do that if you want to, but I've made up my mind. The question is: Are you with me?
